Linking communities in posts feels hard to do (sopuli.xyz)
 

I have wanted to link a community a couple of times, but didn't because it seems unclear how to do it actually well. I've managed to do it once, I think. Another time didn't manage.
Maybe there should be a clear and simple to use button in the format area to add a community link?

Community subscriptions pending unclear (sopuli.xyz)
 

I have pending subscriptions for several days now, and I can't seem to find any information what has caused this or if this problem is something that is up to me as an user

Posts appearing at the top when scrolling through "hot" on all (sopuli.xyz)
 

When looking at posts from "all", after a while suddenly the top of the post queue starts loading in new posts. These posts seem to be very old with little activity. Is this a bug or some functionality I'm misunderstanding? This seems to happen both when sorting "hot" and "activity" is selected

Cool! Interested in learning what kind of approaches you are taking in tackling that massive project

I got tired of being sloppy chunking out power chords and generally being really stiff when playing fast rhythm guitar, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to start working on a couple of Iron Maiden songs through Rocksmith, building up the speed and consistency in rhythm guitar.
So far I think I've got some pretty good results already, although most songs aren't really clean at full speed yet. Rocksmith seems to be a really good platform for this kind of practice, since it makes looping sections at slower speeds so easy.
Currently I'm psyched about Rime of the ancient mariner, it's got such a nice combination of medium-speed gallop and single note lines. Be quick or be dead and 2 minutes to midnight main riffs also make me feel awesome

Bands to scratch the Symphony X itch (sopuli.xyz)

I really like Symphony X, but haven't really stumbled on other progressive metal bands that I would return to listen to (although to be fair I haven't looked very deep into smaller bands).
I'm interested in hearing bands that you think are either similar to or general recommendations from someone with similar tastes.
To me SX just finds a cool balance of being at the same time over the top but still a bit restrained and melodic (with "good taste")
